Lisk Reached a Big Milestone: Core 1.0 Released on Public Testnet!

In the last weeks, LiskHQ completed a large-scale public betanet test of Lisk Core 1.0.0 with almost 500 nodes. Stress tests, snapshotting and synchronization from scratch tests were performed on nodes running the newest Core version.

Branch 1.0.0-rc.0 and its corresponding milestone were created and this final effort allowed Lisk to reach one of the most important goal: the release of Core 1.0.0. on public Testnet. Delegates are currently completing the migration, that started at block height 5.594.490, to this Core update (over 51 delegates already running).

🎉 #Lisk Core 1.0 is on the public Testnet! 🚀 As always, we will keep you all updated on the status of this major milestone in the development of our network. To get familiar with the migration process, check out our comprehensive documentation. 👇 https://t.co/t9X3E1ro8qpic.twitter.com/Q8cbT6bxli
